Humans are classified as part of the primate family, specifically within the group known as great apes, which also includes chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. While we share a common ancestor with these species, humans have unique traits and cognitive abilities that distinguish us. Thus, while we are related to apes, we are not simply "all apes" but rather a distinct species within the primate lineage.
